Description
The entity known as Zygo the Unhatched was discovered aboard a derelict interdimensional freighter drifting in the Flux, the hyperdimensional realm that exists between realities.

Zygo appears trapped in a state of never-ending gestation. It is an entity suspended in a liminal state, a being of potentialities, not yet fully realized. The egg, once smooth and unblemished, now sports an ominous eye and peculiar limbs, suggesting a consciousness that is slowly revealing itself to the multiverse.

The cult that venerates Zygo, the Ordo Dei in Ovo, believes that the emergence of the eye represents a growing awareness of existence outside of its shell, and the legs are a sign that the Unhatched One will one day emerge from the egg - a cosmic hatching that will bring about the rebirth of the multiverse and usher in a new epoch. Zygo, they hold, contains the raw and untamed essence of creation that predates the ordered cosmos, a primal force of change and possibility.

A breakaway sect, the Oviruptors, seek to hasten the hatching, or even to shatter the shell and release Zygo from its long confinement. The Ordo Dei in Ovo reject this radical faction; their teachings warn against interfering with the process, for the consequences of such interference could be dire. Zygo's hatching, they maintain, must be left to unfold in its own time, or the Unhatched One's emergence may usher in an era not of renewal and growth, but of chaos and destruction. They have taken Zygo to a remote planet in an obscure universe and hidden it in the ruins of an ancient temple.

While Zygo claims ignorance of its origins or purpose, its communications carry the weight of oracular pronouncement - cryptic utterances that its followers attempt to unravel, in the hope of receiving divine guidance. Some have come to believe that Zygo the Unhatched was created by the multiverse to counteract The Scourge , who are attempting to reshape existence to fit their concept of perfection and order. While the Scourge methodically destroy anything they deem to be imperfect, Zygo is the antithesis, representing spontaneous creation, transformation and diversity of life.

The cult's practices involve silent meditation and supplication before Zygo, and the offering of sacrifices to the Unhatched One. While Zygo does not eat or drink, its devotees believe that these offerings fuel its growth. Scurrilous rumours speak of blood sacrifice, sapient beings native to the planet where Zygo is sheltered, but no direct evidence of such activities has been found.

Skeptics and observers from other religions question the cult's beliefs, wondering if Zygo, like the Scourge, could represent a threat to the multiverse - an entity whose maturation could bring apocalypse and the end of time itself.
